Very nice job indeed, I have lots of comments now, heres a few:

-Why did you go with the 3 bar frame on the outside? Its innovative but I'm not so sure how productive

-Very Nice use of the encoder, could you tell us more about that?

-Based on the First's history of changing size requirements every year, you may want to investigate another place to mount the battery, plus it looks a little tight there, changing it might be a pain if you don't have much room to work with. This might also apply to the wiring too, its a bit tight.

-I got more, but for now that looks great. Good job.

Looks like a very open design - lots of room to move things around or make changes.

I vote for the 2-speed tranny. That was one of the keys to 103's success in 2005 - it was geared for about 6 fps and 14 fps (which was great for banzai runs to the opposing home row!).

Did you couple the speed encoders to the axle with flex couplings? If not, I strongly recommend you do - the Greyhill encoders don't take kindly to side loads on their shaft bushings, plus it's just good engineering practice. That way you don't have to be quite so precise with the axial alignment.

Nice Inventor work, too!
